This is just a little fun thing I thought of: open up iTunes (or whatever other library you use) and post the first and last thing sorted alphabetically under:
Artist?
Track?
Album?
For me:
Artists: A*Teens to Za-Za
Tracks: À Cause des Garçons to Zile cu Tine
Albums: The ABBA Generation (argh, showed up twice, and I don't like them all that much) to Youthquake
ETA: Mine is without counting numbers or Cyrillic characters.
Hmm, my music app doesn't seem to have a "list all songs" option so I used my iPod:
Artist:
!!!, or if that doesn't count, ABBA
Zu & Spaceways Incorporated
Track:
* (by M83), or if that's no good, 11:59 (by Blondie), or A (by the Barenaked Ladies)
[Z Twig] (by Aphex Twin)
Artists:
Aaliyah to The Zombies
Tracks:
Ain't no Sunshine When She's Gone (Bill Withers) to Your Woman (Whitetown)
Albums:
ABBA Gold to White Hot (Johnny Dangerous)
Okay, since the first one I did was not counting numbers and Cyrillic (iTunes sorts the Cyrillic alphabet in its order after the Latin alphabet), this one is:
Artists: A*Teens to Ничья
Tracks: À Cause des Garçons to 99 Red Balloons
Albums: The ABBA Generation to 200 По Встречной
Artist: A-ha to Zap Mama
Tracks: ASAOK (Less than Jake) to Zooropa (U2) or 1234 (Feist)
Albums: Absolute Garbage (Garbage) to Zooropa (U2) or 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane (tATu)
A comrade! ;) (Your loyalty to the Motherland is a bit uncertain, though. :dubious:)Quote:

Ignoring numbers
Artist: Alan Parsons Project to ZZ Top
Tracks: Achilles Last Stand (Zep) to You've Got To Hide Your Love.. (Beatles)
Albums: Abbey Road to Yes Songs
Pretty representitive of my music actually Beatles, Zep and Yes are 3 of my top 4 groups. I love ZZ Top and have been to two of their concerts. Alan Parsons Project is the only oddball.
I have just reinstalled my OS and have no music on this computer currently.
The only thing that comes close is a CD list:
Artists:
Abraham
~
Zhao Cong
Albums:
5
~
Zuma
Not counting numbers or symbols:
Artists: a-ha to The Zombies
Songs: A5 B24 C135 D45 E2 (Password Theme) (8-bit Instrumental) to Zoological Garden (The Dubliners)
Albums: A-1-A (Jimmy Buffett) to Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! (Hellogoodbye)
Artists: a-ha to ZZ Top (or 54-40, if we're counting numbers)
Songs: AD 1928 (Styx) to Zombie Dance (Alice Cooper) (or "$" by Prince, if we're counting numbers and symbols)
Albums: Abandoned Luncheonette (Hall and Oates) to Zoso (Led Zeppelin) (or "3121" by Prince, if we're counting numbers)
That's a pretty good mix. :)
I didn't count numbers in mine, so I got:
Artist: Abney Park to the Zombies
Track: Absolute Beginners (David Bowie) to Ziggy Stardust (same)
Album: Absolution (Muse) to Zer0space (Kidney Thieves)
I'm glad someone else had ZZ Top.Quote:

Artists: A3 to ZZ Top
Songs: Absolutely Curtains (Pink Floyd) to :???: Zig Zag Dance (Apparently something from Sesame Street.)
Albums: Abandon (Deep Purple) to YesYears
I'm skipping anything in kanji.
Artist: Acelux to Zero Mostel
Track: A' Soalin' by Peter, Paul and Mary; to Zombie Prostitute by Voltaire
Album: Kate Bush' Aerial to The Wurst of P.D.Q Bach
Artists: Air to YUP
Tracks: "Absent Friends" by The Divine Comedy to "Zebra" by The Magnetic Fields
Albums: ABBA-esque by Erasure to You Will Go to the Moon by Moxy Fruvous
All in all, pretty good. I love Air, and YUP is a cool band I only have a few songs from -- they're a Finnish band. :)
(Not counting numbers, also my music collection was extremely depleted by the recent harddrive wipe. I lost about 1000 songs)
Artist: Aimee Man to Yomada
Track: About to Shine by Autumn Defense; Ziggie Stardust by David Bowie
Album: A.M by Wilco; Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips.
Artist: Arvo Pärt to Yoshikazu Mera
Track: ...And Justice For All by Metallica; Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana by Kishore Kumar
Album: ...And Justice For All by Metallica; Zahmia Lemanni: Songs of Byzantine Flowers by SPK
That was fun! I re-discovered some stuff I haven't listened to in a while.
Artist: AFI - 10cc/Zero 7 (depending on which method you choose, ignoring my one Kanji artist)
Track: 2112/Ziggy Stardust
(ignoring a track mislabeled "Zwölf Variations in G-Dur WoO 45", which I fixed)
Album: Abbey Road - 2001(Dr. Dre)/Zimulated Experience(Phoenix Orion)
Technically I have some A-Team samples first which I added Artist & Album tags to keep them together, but I'm not counting those. I also label live concerts by the date & venue for 'album', which would put Glen Philips' "2005-05-08 Neumo's" as last using numbers.
I never knew that clicking on the Album column in iTunes switches it to 'Album by Artist/Year'. Possibly a recent feature (annoying, too, since it hides behavior and requires hitting the sorting triangle exactly).
Artists: Al Kooper/Michael Bloomfield to White Stripes
Track: Abraham Lincoln by Clutch to You’re Crazy by Guns and Roses
Album: Album of the Year by Faith No More to World Painted Blood by Slayer
Artists: Al Kooper/Michael Bloomfield to White Stripes
Track: Abraham Lincoln by Clutch to You’re Crazy by Guns and Roses
Album: Album of the Year by Faith No More to World Painted Blood by Slayer
